AI music production tools range from full-song generators that turn a text prompt into a finished track to assistants inside a workflow — stem separation, mastering, chord suggestion, drum generation — that help you finish music you are making yourself. Generators are fast and the licensing is unsettled; production assistants are narrower and fit into an existing DAW. Decide which you need, then read the license before releasing anything.
